Some political analysis

S here, with my analysis of the Clinton/Obama race from a political math geek perspective that I haven’t seen anywhere in the news.
If you look at this nice summary of data at the NY Times, there are 408 delegates up for grabs in the remaining primaries. Depending on whether you use the [...]

Snow, snow, and more snow
